CALIFORNIA PLACE PARK: While one group of neighbors has expressed intense opposition to making changes to this tiny park next to Admiral Congregational Church (map), the group exploring potential “improvements” is moving forward with design workshops, led by the landscape architect hired with a $15,000 matching-funds grant received for this process, and the first one is tonight, 7 pm, Alki Community Center, first public meeting on the proposal since this tense one last November. (Archived WSB coverage of the park proposal is here; the project organizers’ official website is here.)

I miss the days when elections were free and open, and I could just walk to the corner precinct to drop off my ballot. Here is one voter who would likely have voted for Huff if only I could justify paying the 42-cent poll tax.

Are the post offices staying open later to accommodate the postmarked before 8pm bit or is our only option between 6PM and 8PM to go to the Delridge area drop box?
I really liked being able to cast our vote up until 8PM right across the street, didn’t even have to drive, or use a stamp.
